James Tucker

James Tucker was born in Bristol around 1808. In 1826 he was sentenced to transportation for life for sending a threatening letter to a cousin, and he arrived in Sydney in 1827. Employed as a clerk, then from 1832 to 1839 in the colonial architect's office, he was sent to Port Macquarie in the mid-1840s. Colin Roderick identified him in 1951 as the author of this narrative, an attribution that the Australian Dictionary of Biography considers unproven. He died in 1888, according to the Australian Dictionary of Biography.
